America isn’t dying—it’s just overdue for a hard reboot. Like that buddy of yours who still insists on using AOL email and wonders why his life doesn’t work. And no, as much as I am a fan of Musk, launching another political party with Elon's face plastered on the bumper sticker won’t save us. America doesn’t need another flavor of the same stale political ice cream; … [Read more...] about The Dirty Secret Behind America’s Rigged Politics: Gerrymandering, Term Limits, and Campaign Finance Gone Wild

Situational Awareness: A Navy SEAL Explains
It was late in the day on August 21, 2015. The high-speed train sped through the French countryside on its way to Paris. A man slipped out of the bathroom to make his way back into the crowded passenger car. His mission was simple: kill as many people as possible. He was well-equipped to deliver on that promise. With an AKM assault rifle slung over one shoulder and plenty of … [Read more...] about Situational Awareness: A Navy SEAL Explains
A Former Navy SEAL’s Top 10 Tips on Transitioning From Military to Civilian Life
I lost everything I owned three years after leaving the Navy, including my marriage. Then, I picked myself up, dusted off, and built a new life outside of my service.

Trump’s Peace, Ukraine’s Corruption, and the War Machine That Won’t Die
You can smell it—the stale stench of bureaucracy, burnt money, and battlefield fatigue. Ukraine’s war isn’t just a clash of ideologies and artillery—it’s become a three-ring circus of corruption, political rot, and the same financial war machine that milked America dry in Afghanistan. I spoke with a Ukrainian who explained that most of the front-line soldiers still … [Read more...] about Trump’s Peace, Ukraine’s Corruption, and the War Machine That Won’t Die

Trump’s Military-for-Citizenship Plan Could Fix Immigration—and Finally Kill the Free-Ride Welfare State
Ok, this is not Trump's plan, it's mine. President Trump doesn’t need another wall; he needs a boot camp. Picture it: a streamlined, no-nonsense path where immigrants earn the stars and stripes by shouldering a rifle, turning wrenches on F-35s, or writing code for the Space Force. You bleed for the flag, you get the passport—simple, and very American. It’s the sort of … [Read more...] about Trump’s Military-for-Citizenship Plan Could Fix Immigration—and Finally Kill the Free-Ride Welfare State
“Brad Pitt’s ‘F1’ Movie Is a Full-Throttle Testosterone Revival—and It’s Exactly What Hollywood Needed
If Michael Bay and Ernest Hemingway shared a bottle of barrel-select Hibiki in a Monaco pit lane at 2 a.m., they might cook up something half as punchy as “F1,” the new asphalt-melting spectacle that just roared into theaters. Director Joseph Kosinski doesn’t nudge you into the seat—he duct-tapes you there, slams the shifter into sixth, and redlines your soul until you’re … [Read more...] about “Brad Pitt’s ‘F1’ Movie Is a Full-Throttle Testosterone Revival—and It’s Exactly What Hollywood Needed
From WWI to Ukraine to Iran: Why American Power No Longer Brings Peace
Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: America used to bring the thunder. We didn’t just show up—we arrived. When the U.S. landed in Normandy, the world took a breath. When we dropped the hammer on Japan, history pivoted. Fast forward to 2024—and somehow, we’re still playing global cop, but now it’s with a limp, a fog of bureaucracy, and a few thousand lawyers … [Read more...] about From WWI to Ukraine to Iran: Why American Power No Longer Brings Peace
Trump’s Iran Strike: Why America Had to Hit Hard and What Comes Next for the Terror Regime
This recent U.S. surgical strike against Iran wasn’t just a flex. It was a calculated move, and should come as no surprise given Iran's posture towards the Trump administration. The disruptor-in-chief, Donald J. Trump, a man hated by Iran's mullahs, the deep state, and half of brunch-eating America—but adored by anyone who’s ever faced ideological terrorism face on. The … [Read more...] about Trump’s Iran Strike: Why America Had to Hit Hard and What Comes Next for the Terror Regime

Trump’s Iran War Gamble: What The Next Two Weeks Look Like
Will America go to war with Iran? War or regime change is doubtful without a clear successor that leans towards the West. So what now?
